LAST NIGHT IN SOHO (BLUE &

Product Information

British films of the 1960s were also inspirations for Wright, who said: "A lot of films of that period are about the darker side of Soho or of show business. You still have to question where they're coming from, because there's a lot of them, which are more the sensationalistic ones, that take this kind of punitive approach to the female characters. There's a lot of movies where it seems that the genre is 'Girl comes to London to make it big and is roundly punished for her efforts.'"

In December 2017, after the press tour for Baby Driver concluded, Wright felt pressure to begin working on a sequel immediately, but decided instead to go in "a radically different direction" for his next film. He phoned Wilson-Cairns and asked if she wanted to co-write the screenplay for Last Night In Soho. They rented an office in Soho to work on the script, consulting a folder of research collected by Lucy Pardee, a BAFTA Award-winning casting director and researcher who had interviewed people who lived and worked in Soho in the 1960s and the present day. Wright wanted to be "true to the history of the area". [15]

At the time the Who—which was composed of singer Roger Daltrey, guitarist Pete Townshend, bass guitarist John Entwistle, and drummer Keith Moon—was known for smashing instruments on stage. It started out as an accident but came to encapsulate what Townshend called “My Generation.” To be fair though, Moon broke a bass drum pedal and tore a drum skin when he auditioned for the band. But songwriters Entwistle and Townshend also pushed the soft horror and mild kink, with songs like “Boris the Spider,” and “I’m a Boy,” about a “head case” named Bill, whose mother won’t admit he’s not a girl. a b Willman, Chris (6 December 2021).
